"My Love" is a love song by Paul McCartney and Wings, and is the most famous track on their 1973 album Red Rose Speedway. McCartney wrote it about his feelings for his wife Linda, who was also in the band. The song was released as a single in March 1973, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, knocking Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" out of the top spot. By the end of June it was replaced by "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" by his former bandmate from The Beatles, George Harrison, at the top of the chart.
An orchestral version of this song was played when Monica and Chandler got married on the hit US sitcom Friends.
The song also appeared on the Wings compilation album Wings Greatest and the Paul McCartney compilation album All the Best!
